what's going on in the congo since there's also a genocide happening over there as well:
to sum it up, people in the congo are literally being worked as slaves to mine for this material called coltan, which is very valuable as its used for things like phones, laptops, just electronics in general. Congo is the number 1 producer for this material and the places behind this genocide is America, Britain, France, and Israel, wow what an absolute shocker. The worst places probably to ever exist benefit from a genocide. These places are funding Rwanda and Uganda military groups, to go into the Congo and kill MILLIONS of people. This has also been going on for YEARS. Many women have been SA'd and men are forced to work in INHUMAN conditions, resulting in their death and the colonizers are absolutely benefitting from this. 6 MILLION people have been killed and half of them are literally kids. Many of the Congolese people have also been displaced.

Something that I think is very important to remember right now, is amidst all of the chaos and horror. You HAVE to take care of yourself.
Please, take breaks from social media. Take breaks from doomscrolling and the news. Go for a walk. Write. Paint. Draw. Work out. Watch your favorite show. Do whatever you need to do to keep yourself sane, because paralyzing yourself with fear doesn't help yourself or others.
Educate yourself, spread helpful information, spread positivity and support to your friends, followers, and family. And then when the weight of it all makes your heart and your neck hurt more than you can bare, step away for a moment.
